CHATTER

Chatter is a useful nanoaugmentor colony frequently injected into soldiers on covert missions. It allows communication without speech. In many ways, chatter resembles the technology of the internal communicator. However, unlike the internal communicator, the nanites in a chatter nanoaugmentors attach directly to the speech and language centers of the brain. When you wish to communicate via your chatter nanites, you need only to think of what you would say and the nanoaugmentors transmit those thoughts over a communications channel. When other nanites receive the communication, they transmit the information directly into your brain.

Each set of chatter nanites is keyed to only communicate with other chatter colonies sharing the same encryption key.  Individuals without the chatter nanites can communicate and receive communications from those with the chatter nanoaugmentors through a computer system or communicator properly keyed into the same encrypted communications channels.

When you are injected with the chatter nanoaugmentors, you must spend 30 minutes practicing so that ambient thoughts do not interfere with the communications.
